What are folks saying about our talent show?

Our 2012 Annual Competition had been sold out weeks in advance. We had sponsors like Guitar Showcase, Roku, Union Bank, India Currents, The Tech Museum, including many of Saratoga's super successful real estate agents and many more.

The big day arrived and we had standing room only, with about 50 contestants and performers and 320+ in attendance. We had the WHO’s WHO of Silicon Valley in attendance - Assembly member Jim Beall, San Jose Councilmember Ash Kalra, Saratoga's Former Mayor Kathleen King and many more- and our annual competition created quite a buzz with many of our media partners covering the show.

Our annual competition has now been regarded as one of Saratoga’s best community event ever. Our show was also a fund-raiser that targeted raisingt $25,000, donated directly to our Senior Center. You may agree, we did quite well for our first one! Don’t believe us, check out some of the reviews.
